101811
A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only propane/LP gas. If your gas supply is not propane/LP, do not install
heater. Call dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater.
INSTALLATION ITEMS
Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by
installer, see page 14)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
* An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable
alternative to test gauge connection. The optional A.G.A. design-certified manual
shutoff valve can be purchased from your dealer. See Accessories, page 30.
LOCATING HEATER
This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall.
Maintain the minimum clearances shown in Figure 4 (page 10). If you
can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling, and joining wall.
You can locate heater on floor, away from a wall. An optional floor mounting
stand is needed. Purchase the floor mounting stand from your dealer. See Accesso-
ries, page 30.
Never install the heater
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects
are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides of the heater
• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat
to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or
cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impurities in the air
(such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolor walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, in-
stalling heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 8.
If you install the heater in a home garage
• heater pilot and burner must be at least 18 inches above floor
• locate heater where moving vehicle will not hit it
